Rev. Geo. w. Israel, a pro Winent Meth
odist minister, and we'll known tc many Of
the older people of Augusta county and
the Valley, went from Boyd s to Rockville,
Nd. on Saturday last. to attend to some
business, and from the latter place disap-
peared, since when friends have been
searching for him. 1t is thought his mind
became affected suddenly and he strolied
off during the snow storm. He at one
time WAS in an asylum for the insane. He
is abont " years of age, and owns a fine
farm at Boyd's. At one time he was as
signed to Augusta Circuit and often
filled the Staunton pulpit. He is very
learned man. and was an able and eloquent
preacher, but quite eccentric.
Last week an attempt was made to rob
the post office at Waynesboro. The office
is in the same building with the store of
Mr.. r. Wight, the postmaster. Burglars
got into the store and then into the post
office. where they were frightened. it is
by daughter of Mr.. Wright
calling to her father that some one was in
the store. The tools used were taken
from a neighboring blacksmith shop, ex-
cept the drills, which. no doubt, we're kept
by tie thieves. There were several OF
them, and the same parties, We suspect,
that robbed the Office of Sheriff Estes, of
Nelson county, and the Treasurer of Bot
etourt.
